0330-0506 - Victor 10-HDN Heavy Duty Propane/Natural Gas Cutting Tip

Crush Heavy Scrap Jobs with the Victor 10-HDN

Alright, let's talk about the big leagues. If you are looking at this tip, you aren't cutting 1/4-inch plate for a bracket. You are likely standing on a pile of scrap or staring down a massive slab of steel that needs to be severed. The Victor 10-HDN Cutting Tip (0330-0506) is the heavy artillery of the cutting world. This isn't your standard general-purpose nozzle; it is a size 10 beast designed specifically for Heavy Duty Natural Gas and Propane applications.

Why choose the HDN series? First off, fuel economy. Acetylene is great, but when you are burning through thick steel all day, the cost adds up fast. This tip lets you switch to Propane or Natural Gas, which is far more economical for heavy heating and cutting operations. But don't think you're sacrificing power. The 10-HDN is engineered to maintain a stable, high-velocity oxygen stream that can punch through steel ranging from 14 to 18 inches thick. That is over a foot of solid metal!

Durability is key here. When you are cutting material that thick, the radiant heat coming back at your torch is intense. Standard tips can overheat, causing flashbacks or premature failure. The HDN series features a robust, heavy-wall outer shell that acts as a heat shield, protecting the internal splines and ensuring the tip lasts longer in the field. Whether you are in a scrapyard, a demolition site, or a heavy fabrication shop, this is the tip you grab when the job is too big for anything else.

Remember, this is a two-piece tip, which is standard for alternative fuels. The outer shell and inner member work together to create the proper preheat flame needed for propane. Make sure you have the regulator flow capacity to back this thing up—it's going to drink oxygen to make those deep cuts, but the results are absolutely worth it.
